For the past few years, I have enjoyed reading Melody Carlson's annual Christmas novels. Every Fall, a new one comes out. This year's novel is titled The Christmas Angel Project. With this story, it's hard to explain the story without giving the crux of the plot away. So, I'm not going to. This story is one of 4 friends who grow and walk through some tough times together around Christmas.Melody Carlson writes these novels like Hallmark Channel Christmas movies (since they're the only ones nowadays who really make cheesy movies like the story of these books). But, they're fun to read. There's something about Christmas that makes people think of healing, family, friends, and fellowship. That's what this book is all about.
Does the plot flow? Yes. Are the characters flawed, yet likeable? Yes. Does the writing make it easy to picture the story? Yes. It's just fine.
If you enjoy tv movies or cheesy Christmas stories, you'll like this short story. It would be fun and easy to read while sipping a cup of hot tea.
Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Books for review.
